racevta.com (Mopar runs a good ship of the 3 racing line + he races them constant) or rcmart.com, between those two you should have everything covered for upgrades and spares.

Thanks

In the US you have RaceVTA.com, also Integy, TQ Racing and HobbyKing carry some.

And lets not forget ebay, there is a bunch of knock off aluminum parts available there cheap ...

Can anyone give me the part no for the Alum Hexes and the metallic spool? Couldn't find it on asiatees or in the HK Sakura website website under upgrades for the XI.

Is there a cheap way (like let's say 25$) to get th car pinked up for my girlfriend? Sadly the shocks gone to orange on the nu

its great to see this thread is still going. Im assuming this means this chassis is still a competitor.

Most of the stuff from the old Sakura Ultimate will fit:
Spool: 3RACING
Hexes: 3RACING

Lots of other pink stuff: 3RACING

Pinking up the NU shocks:
there are several pink parts for this. Like the upper cap: x28c and D125... Are they the same?

Forgot the most important upgrade, a bigger bumper

Just got a second hand car, looks like it wasn't run much. Can you recommend foamies (tires + wheels) that fit the stock body, and which spares / hopups I should get?
It's on clearance everywhere so it's super cheap.

I was thinking a belt or two, the sway bars as extra. What else?

Is there a trick to stop the stock NU shocks from leaking at the top? I've built various shocks over the years and these will either hold oil or leak from the top silicone bladder. Is there a different bladder I can use? The rest of the car's fit and finish is fantastic but the shocks are driving me nuts. Thank you!

Picked up my 2x NU's today. Wohooo. Two for 175$ is a nice deal I guess.
Girlfriend has absolutely no idea and it'll be the first build, hopefully she is so excited than I am.

But: What freakin class do I run?! We both run 13.5T (I run 17.5T Fleta ZX2 and so yea...that motor is beast) on (winter) small carpet track. We will soon go outside to a new club with Medium sized Asphalt track (everybody runs 13.5T there). I showed her tthe VTA stuff a while back but she doesnt like the cars. Some GT stuff (the Venom Body) she likes.
I wanted to run 17.5T/21.5T with some kind of fun related class we both can enjoy (maybe some others will follow is, everybody got plenty of old and cheap cars laying around)?! Trucks?! (I do love the style!)

What can I do with the complementary Tires?

Do the Xray 20mm Springs (2.5-2.8) fit into the NU?

I'm currently building my first touring car after almost 2 decades of being out of the loop. I bought the protoform PFM10 body to go with the Xi sport, but upon fitting it the wheel gap/offset is massive. I plan on running in USGT. Are there other bodies that you folks have on these chassis that fit better? Or are there ways to reduce the gap? Or do I just kind of deal with it and run it for the time being?

3 racing sell different size wheel hexes from 4mm to 7mm. Changing the track width will affect the handling though, for better or worse.
